My oldest just turned 7 this week and right before Christmas, my youngest turned 5.
I’ve heard the phrase ‘The days are long but the years are short’ and boy is it true! Some days your kids (or hormones) drive you crazy and other days you have moments were you wish you had more minutes in the day to snuggle with them.
I’m faced with the realization that time doesn’t wait for anyone. I guess there’s no better time than now (today) to steal more hugs and kisses, play with them more and scold them less. They truly are gifts from God & I am so blessed that God has allowed me to be their mama.
My heart goes out to all those that have lost a little one. I pray He mends your hearts with comfort and gives you unexplainable joy. For those that are aching for children, don’t give up hope. The Bible says “He makes the barren woman a joyful mother of children” (whether biological or adopted). He knows what your heart desires and is fully capable of bringing it to pass.
